starsrift:Sometimes, just for fun, I like to imagine what these Republican talking heads would say if it was, say, Sonora or the Bajas who wanted to escape the corruption and drug trade in Mexico to become protectorates of the USA, and how they'd respond to Russia telling the USA what the fark to do.

I think the whole upcoming Crimean referendum is great. As long as the UN can ensure that it's actually Crimeans and only Crimeans doing the voting.

Are you insinuating that the US and Russia can be, in any conceivable way, considered equals?

We wouldn't listen to them, because they're not us. They need to listen to us, because we are us.

I suspect most Ukrainians would say that's not the kind of help they need.

Or maybe nuke Moscow to save Ukraine?

Hmmmm.....okay, where do we go from there? Okay, let's say we just nuke a small Soviet Russian city. Does she really think Putin wouldn't retaliate? Putin could pick a small city in Europe to obliterate and tell us the next ones will be headed towards London, Paris and Los Angeles.

I always thought Sarah Palin was stupid, but I didn't realize how dangerous she might actually have been if McCain had won and she was one heartbeat away from the presidency.

dahmers love zombie:How do you get that concentration of lunacy in one place and not have at least one person trying to be reasonable. CPAC has become the latest incarnation of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch.

Ker_Thwap:I fondly remember the first five minutes when I first heard a woman was tagged as the VP running mate. I was thinking, oh, maybe a strong role model for my daughters. Then I learned a bit about her, then I heard her rabble rousing. I hate extremists who can't even bother to try to understand the point of view of others.

From the transcript: President Obama, though, he is nothing if not poll-tested, so even he knows that the deep issue of our time is that pressing stagnation facing the middle class. Those good working class families, just can't get ahead and that's why he baits the GOP establishment into a kind of tit-for-tat, things to distract, and then they pander, and in the White House they do such damage, but their agenda is failure and fiasco on steroids.

Yeah,I would not watch her talk on Fox, I would not stick one in her box.

Well she never was "hot" like people say. I guess if you're grading on a curve like politicians, HR workers, gym teachers then okay.

So Republicans, still angry Obama won? Otherwise, McCain would have had a stroke his first week in office and we'd be living in a post nuclear dystopia by now. Road Warrior, Godzilla awoken, mass hysteria.

SlothB77:I'm glad the Democrats are here to show us how to treat women.

The Moon Cannot Be Stolen

Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing to steal.Ryokan returned and caught him. "You have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you should not return empty-handed. Please take my clothes as a gift."The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.Ryoken sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow," he mused, "I wish I could have given him this beautiful moon."

You guys are all way off base. She was actually complimenting Obama. Obama is the "good guy with a nuke" that could stop Putin. Do you think Putin would listen to a word Obama says diplomatically if we didn't have nukes?

That stupid biatch should keep her pie hole shut. Nobody wants to hear about using tried and tested techniques on how to deal with nuke superpowers. We have a big red pen that we can draw big red lines with and a red phone that we can make stern phone calls with. Keep your conservatard warmongering to your yourself.

This is Obama's one chance for the Right to see him as a good guy. Then, next time they call him Hitler for feeding poor people or getting sick people medical treatment he can play this clip back, along with the footage of Moscow glowing green, and they'll love him again.

It's like her shiat is written by ex-cops weaned on Dirty Harry. "Very, very bad dudes" is cop oversell for how tough their job is, usually harassing the homeless and petty offenders. They are always "bad dudes".

Yeah,I would not watch her talk on Fox, I would not stick one in her box.

Well she never was "hot" like people say. I guess if you're grading on a curve like politicians, HR workers, gym teachers then okay.

So Republicans, still angry Obama won? Otherwise, McCain would have had a stroke his first week in office and we'd be living in a post nuclear dystopia by now. Road Warrior, Godzilla awoken, mass hysteria.
